We don’t have a common parlance word for those two bits of the palm in English. Do not say “heel” though, that is very wrong.

The medical term in English is “thenar” and “hypothenar”, but if you had just said “based on the palm" that would have been sufficient explanation for another speaker to get it.

You have encountered Gnostic thought (and related heresies!) The Gnostics believed that the God of the Christian Old Testament was actually Satan all along. It is an interesting rabbit hole to fall down into.

They… are?

H₁n̥gʷn̥éh₂ h₁érteti! H₁n̥gʷn̥éh₂ h₁érteti!!!

Dogs are cool but people are the best people because they can talk and invent jokes.

Hate to break it to ya bruv, but if that was the reaction, maybe the difference was in the comparative quality of the output ;)

Black cats with a white tuft of fur on the chest are often thought to be cat sidhe in the British Isles. There’s a famous story about one such cat - “One evening an old man was travelling home and he saw a group of six black cats walking on their hind legs bearing a coffin and announcing “The King of Cats is dead, the King of Cats is dead”. Then another cat came up to the old man and said “Tell Tom Tildrum that Tim Toldrum is dead.” The man went home to tell his wife about the strange occurance, but no sooner than he had relayed the final words, his cat, Tom, jumped up and announced “Tim Toldrum is dead? Why, then I’m the King of Cats!” And he leapt up the chimney and was never seen again.”

Was für 'ne schöne Mieze!

Unfortunately every second I spend not at work when I should be at work causes BIG STRESS which eclipses the regular stress that work creates.

Sometimes I have to go back to cooking on a ceramic or gas at someone else’s house and it always annoys me how long boiling water takes.

Whilst true that not everyone can practice their way into mastery of painting, I usually find people don’t even try.

I definitely prefer honest garbage to polished inauthenticity, but, based on AI usage, it seems the ordinary person disagrees. It’s sad, don’t you think?

I think it was mostly an excuse to post jokes, but some people do believe being repressed is a sign of a stronger person. Or that “self care” is bad in some way - most of that comes from the lingering religious shame many were brought up with.

Sorry champ, that only works on poor people. You gotta be way smarter to take down the rich.

Desire to look hot as fuck and the associated confidence boost.

I’m a woman and the standards for men really upset me as well. I would 100% support any man who started wearing a kilt to the office as a way to fight the norms.

I read the other comment a woman put here and I get what she’s saying, but I did also think she was minimising how much men are completely discouraged from any sort of self expression in clothing. Although also to be fair, I don’t work in an industry where there’s an expectation for women to look pretty so men can ogle them, so I probably just don’t have the experience to feel as strongly about it.

I guess, we should all fight against the injustices we see, and help each other against the ones we can’t see.

Oh! Haha. Then you’d be wrong ;)

Well, unfortunately I have several levels in “minor cretin”, so when you asked me what I wanted, the concept of food had never even occurred to me and my stomach was doing the REEEEEEEE but now that I smell a food it occurs to me that the REEEEEE was maybe hunger instead of nausea so now I’m hungy

But in my relationship I’d just tell my fiance I’m hungy now and then we’d order more food together because we are not 5.

Wisdom is understanding that all word categories are largely arbitrary, based on the distinctions which are needing to be made at any one time, and thus to apply the scientific, botanical definition of “fruit” to a general culinary context is foolish.

Yeah. It’s like any other religion, I guess.

Fun fact, tarot cards were invented in the late Middle Ages (from other similar cards which were popular around then, I think imported from the East?) and were used to play a game called Trumps. That’s why the major arcana cards are also known as trump cards. The magical ot esoteric aspect was added later. This means that technically, using tarot to “read the future” has as much inherent validity as any other deck of cards… I wanna see someone try with Pokemon or Uno cards 😂😂

No idea what that is but I’d love an explanation!
